IPG is also known for its fine-art printing or giclee graphics.
The giclee process begins with IPG's powerful, state-of-the-art
Cruse scanner, which captures the precise details and subtle colors
of the original artwork. "This scanner transforms fine-art
originals as large as 48 x 96 inches into spectacular,
high-resolution digital files, with each pixel individually
controlled for color, density, size and sharpness," says Farrell.
The fine-art print is produced using one of IPG's giclee-certified,
1440-dpi eight-color printers. "These printers use special
pigment-based inks, which have been tested by Wilhelm Imaging
Research to last over 150 years, making giclee ultra prints a
durable and worthwhile investment," he says.

One of IPG's clients is the internationally renowned artist
Violet Parkhurst, considered by many experts to be the greatest
living marine artist today. In 2004, Violet Parkhurst was
commissioned by Lt. Col. Kenneth R. Hallbauer, retired from the
United States Air Force, to produce a series of paintings
commemorating the history of manned flight. "IPG worked with
Parkhurst to produce a series of six limited-edition giclee prints
of aviation landmarks, from her painting of the Wright Brothers'
first flight at Kitty Hawk, NC, in December 1903 to the April 1942
World War II Lt. Col. James Doolittle raid on Tokyo and Lindberg's
1927 Atlantic Flight," says Farrell.

"Our unique rolling graphic displays add eye-catching motion and
changing images to visual merchandising presentations," says
Farrell. "Graphics can be continuously moving or stop at preset
positions, and displays can be hung from ceilings or stand on their
own pedestal base."

IPG also produces banners and banner stands. Banner stands are
available in one or two-sided models, and in a wide variety of
widths and heights to fit every need, from desktop to giant banners
over nine feet tall. IPG's mPulse! EDDS (Electronic Digital Display
System) is a high-performance and cost-effective alternative to
traditional static signage, displaying dynamic, constantly changing
images. "Our new mPulse! EDDS is ideally suited for large-format
environments such as retail stores, lobbies, convention centers and
shopping malls," concludes Farrell.
